Oh No!

Preeya Kalidas at the British Soap
Awards 2012

Preeya Kalidas of eastenders has definitely gone over the top in this 'over revealing' dress. And as a long-suffering fan of the award winning Uk drama and an admirer of Preeya's fabulous looks, i desire to exhibit my outrage at this outfit! It is simply too revealing and diminishes the overall desired effect, which i presume to be a demure elegance. The dress is certainly elegant from the waist to the floor but the cleavage is too revealing, or is it just me being too judgemental? I wonder....... All the same keep looking your beautiful and radiant self but please cover the 'twins' when in public!

The Ultimate Girl Band Woman

The Spice girls were definitely the real deal in terms of an all female group, each member is unique and beautiful and you simply could not pick a favourite! Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham (nee Adams) are the all english girl group who ruled the British music industry in the mid-nineties . Victoria Beckham was considered by many to be less active vocally in comparison to the other members of the group. I probably did not notice she was not performing as much as others (notice the emphasis on performing as much, and not performing as well as) because though i did not have a vocally talented favourite, i certainly had a favourite in relation to the person in my  opinion who radiated utmost femininity and was the ultimate Chic!

VB as she is fondly called may have been the least vocally gifted girl in the group but to me, she is the most successful woman that has emerged from the group. I was arrested and filled with admiration from the first time i saw her 'chic bob' hair-do and feminine dresses as well as ladylike mannerisms in the musical videos. It is not surprising then that she has managed to raise three big boys and their adorable little sister while still maintaining a fashionable and very chic image. She has recently added designer to her list of achievements and being married to David Beckham has to be a plus surely?

Cosmetic Surgery

 Women since the beginning of civilisation have craved to look their best, in present day times it can be a particular foundation/powder you simply are unable to do without or the perfect shade of lipgloss/lipstick.

The not so new rage of African-American women and their African sisters' "love-affair" with human hair; be it brazilian, peruvian or indian is very interesting and quite lucrative, from a business perspective i have been told. Need i mention the skin products for ; lightening, brightening, age re-newing, cellulite reduction and removal and the rest? There will not be need for that, for it is a safe assumption that majority of the human populace are aware of the said products and the market for it.

I do not intend to castigate women for aspiring to look their best by enhancing or improving on their natural 'assets'. After all some people simply detest anything termed or perceived to be artificial ranging from; applying make-up to attaching weaves to the natural hair. But i dare say that i am not one of that school of thought, because i believe in engaging in activities that helps the woman look good and beautiful. As a matter of fact , it is accurate to surmise that i stand guilty of all the afore mentioned vices that plagues the modern woman and her preoccupation with beauty enhancement.

The question that i ask myself and fellow women is 'how much is too much?' Where do you draw the line? Cosmetic Surgery started as a means to help deformed people and children born with facial and skin defects to overcome their plights and live a normal life. But over the years, the industry has evolved in such a manner that the initial patients have been relegated to the background while the major patients are women who have money to change the shape of their nose, hip, lips, breasts, and the list is simply endless. Having said that, i do know that some women and men have genuine reasons to undergo surgery, especially when it involves weight issues.

A lovely lady recently lost her live after undergoing surgery and i must say that i was simply devastated at the news and seriously wished she had not gone through with the surgery. It was a waste of precious human life!

The Iron Lady

Margaret Thatcher, the first and only female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has been portrayed in a movie by one of the most iconic actors of her generation, Meryl Streep. I remember growing up in the eighties in Nigeria and the reference to any female leader in a male dominated environment as "the iron lady," not necessarily in politics alone, but cuts across various fields and discipline of life.

It is worthy of note when people who have made their mark in their chosen field are being recognised and commended. "The Iron Lady" definitely deserves every accolade received, she has served humanity in her own capacity by making a mark in the world of politics and i simply can-not contain my excitement to view Streep's interpretation of Thatcher. Luckily, the cinema place in Buckingham is showing the movie this weekend at the affordable price of £2.50, which also save's one the cost of transportation to Milten Keynes!

Family to me is the most important unit in the world. It is largely responsible for shaping the form into an individual. Take for instance language; the first language spoken by a child or a grown person as the case maybe is the language spoken by the mother which is invariably termed 'the mother tongue.' The importance and relevance of the mother in the lives of children cannot be over-estimated, come to think of it, she literarily 'gave life' to the child by giving birth to the child. No wonder many cultures of the world assign great tributes to 'mothers'.

In the yoruba culture where i come from, it is often said that children are classified into two groups; the first group implies that the child was not adequately reproved or disciplined in his or her formative years.
The second school of thought acknowledges the fact that the child received appropriate training from the parents (the mother in most cases) but chose to ignore it. An adage in my culture concludes that" a well-mannered and successful child belongs to the father while a spoilt and unproductive child is the mother's."

It is no wonder then that most mothers exhibit great concern for their children even in their old age. "A mother's love, what can rival it?" To every mother qualified to be addressed  as such, happy belated mother's day! And to my mother; who happens to be the great-esd mother of all, an epitome of what a christian woman should be, "i say thank you for giving me life and every other tidbit to ensure i excel in life!"

What is the world turning to? That is the big question on my lips this morning, i mean how can a man justify killing 77 people, as a means of defending himself? Another baffling development occurred in Brazil where a man, his wife and mistress ate people's flesh and used some of the human parts for pies!
God in heaven! There are no words to describe this, it must be the end times as the bible predicted.

The most important lesson in all of this is to hold on to God or whatever faith you believe in, that abhors
murderous and inhuman acts. Our very humanity depend on this. I am attaining a point where i have to contend with what i'll read if i open a news website! Have a lovely week all, and remember hold on to God or whatever believe thats keeps you human and humane! God bless

A man went into a restaurant which was offering a fixed-menu, three-course meal. When the waiter brought the first course, the man tasted it and said: "What is this?''

The waiter replied: "It's bean soup.''

The man then said: "I don't care what it's been. What is it supposed to be now?''
